Water Reservoir off Burghmuir Drive
The enhanced security of the place (metal fence doubling the height of the old stone wall plus five strands of barbed wire atop) ensured my curiosity.
It appears that the housing estates were built much later and have been adapted to fit in around the fenced off area.

Burghmuir Drive
The junction of Burghmuir Drive and North Street is controlled by a very busy roundabout with traffic for the A96 directed up the drive.
Much of the housing results from the Aberdeen oil boom of the second half of the 20th century.

Versatile Steel Works
On North Street, Inverurie.
The site looks a bit deserted, but google says they are (or were) Steel Fabricators and Erectors.
Plans to build 49 flats on this site in 2009 were rejected.

Site of the Brandsbutt Stone Circle
The circle has been marked out on the open grass patch in a housing estate.
The circle would have dated back to the third millennium BC, but all 12 (or possibly 13) stones have been removed and/or destroyed.

Douping Stone
This is one of the stones that made up the stone circle beside the Brandsbutt Stone. It and its fellow had been built into a field wall, but when the area was redeveloped as housing they were re-erected beide the Brandsbutt Stone. It is named on the 1:25,000 map as 'Douping Stone' but I have not found any explanation for this. https://canmore.org.uk/site/18882/brandsbutt for more information.

Brandsbutt Stone Circle
These two stones, plus the symbol stone a few metres away in the next square, are the remains of a stone circle. According to the 1:25,000 map the nearer one is called the Douping Stone, but I have not found any explanation of this. See https://canmore.org.uk/site/18882/brandsbutt for more information.
